# Translate Video to French

ToolSugar translates the speech in a video into French subtitles without changing when each line appears. ToolSugar transcribes the audio, and translates the text line by line in your browser. You can download a French SRT with the original SRT, or burn the French text into an MP4 on your own device.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Drop your video. French is already selected as the target.
2. Press Translate video. Everything stays in your browser.
3. Download the French SRT, or press Burn captions for a new MP4.

## Key facts

- **Formality**: No setting for tu or vous. The model decides, so check how it addresses viewers
- **Characters**: Burned-in text supports é, è, ç, œ and other French letters
- **Timing**: Translated captions start and end with their source lines
- **Text privacy**: Nothing is uploaded. Translation runs in your browser

## Common uses

- Preparing a video for clients or colleagues in France, Belgium or Canada.
- Making an online lesson available to French-speaking learners.
- Adding French captions to a film festival submission as a first draft.

## Questions

### How do I fix the use of tu and vous?

Open the downloaded SRT in any text editor and change the wording. There is no tone setting yet, so a brand video that needs a consistent vous should get a final read by a French speaker.

### Does it follow French subtitle typography?

Not fully. Spacing before colons and question marks, and quotation mark style, come from the model and may vary. Fix them in the SRT if you need broadcast-level typography.

### Is the original audio kept in the burned MP4?

Yes. The audio track is kept and re-encoded as AAC at 192 kbps. Only the picture changes, with your translated captions added at the bottom of the frame.
